Can Claude make videos?

Seedance 2 team · Updated

Not by itself: Claude writes text and code and does not output video files. To make videos in Claude, connect a video MCP server such as Seedance 2 (https://www.seedance2.net/mcp); Claude then generates Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 clips on your Seedance 2 account and returns them in the chat.

Steps

  1. In Claude (web, desktop or mobile), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Seedance 2 and paste the server URL: https://www.seedance2.net/mcp
  3. Click Connect, sign in with your Seedance 2 account and approve the connection. New accounts get free credits, no card needed.
  4. Start a new chat and ask for a video, naming the model, for example "Use Seedance 2 to make a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip of…".

What it costs

Seedance 2.5: 28 credits for a 5-second 480p clip. Seedance 2.0: 19 credits for a 5-second 480p clip. New accounts get free credits, no card needed.
